The Fix Episode Guide The media outlets are revealing that Jessica Meyer, the girlfriend of Sevvy Johnson was found five days earlier bludgeoned to death. In the corner of the TV screen, Ezra recognizes Sevvy and rushes out of the bar; just as Maya makes her way back to LAX. She is sure she is going to only stay for a couple of days, confessing she cannot get his former victims out of her mind. She can’t go any further than looking through old case files and says she will not go through this again. At the funeral home, both Star Johnson and her brother, Gabriel are sure he is innocent. He doesn’t like how her family is looking at him. Matthew brings Maya back to her old place where she immediately finds her gun.

She calls Matthew saying she is coming back, shocked to learn that Alan Wiest is the current DA. Many people are not thrilled she is there but Matthew says he is the lead on the case. In their meeting, Maya reminds them that Sevvy had 8 years to think of his mistakes and he definitely won’t make the same ones again. They are checking for blood, DNA and surveillance. CJ says she came in to check Ben Mitchell story but so far things are checking. Maya wants them to observe the googly eyes, which shows Jessica looking to see if what she is saying is approved and desperately avoiding conflict. Maya says Jessica was simply a decoration in his house, just like his wife before. Maya feels none of this feels good, but Matthew begs her for a few weeks to help him get Sevvy into jail. Ezra meets with his law firm and says their life is completely his until they prove Sevvy is innocent, and all the idiots on social media could either be for them or against them. He introduces them all to Ares Ahn saying he is their guru; so they need to get the jury to like them; making American fall back in love with Sevvy Johnson. Maya comes to see CJ, who is checking Jessica’s pings on her cellphone.

She wants to know if Sevvy took Jessica to Bora Bora as that is always his first makeup gift after he gives his woman a severe beating. Mr Meye stops Maya in the streets, asking if she is there for his daughter. She offers her condolences, but he knows she is there if Sevvy is the one who murdered his daughter. He doesn’t want her anywhere near this case because had she won the last case, his daughter would still be alive. Maya’s confrontation with Jessica’s father is all over the news, as Matthew doesn’t think this will convince her to stay. He admits she has been through a lot, even though she ran. His girlfriend feels he can’t be the fall guy if this all goes South. Maya goes to the ocean where she calls Riv, telling him she misses him. Ezra is confronted, saying he can tell his bosses that his cash cow is coming in and the bosses will be paid in full. Ezra is whacked with a crowbar, reminding him that next time won’t be so nice.

She says a detective came by her house and left her something, just like last time as they always want to talk to the ex. He swears he didn’t do it but she feels he didn’t just like he loved, her and Cassandra before her. Riv and Maya wake up together; he says they have a good 7 hours before their flight and she could show him the Hollywood sign. She admits that they asked her to stay but this it, not the world she wants to be in. The doorbell sounds and she thinks it is a reporter, planning to open the door with a mean face.

The District Attorney’s office is in tur- moil. Wolf’s tactics have their public im- age look bad as he uses the media to his advantage. Besides this, the lawyers ar- gue among each other. Alan Wiest takes notice of Matthew Collier’s tactics as he brings Maya back to handle the case. To Alan, Matthew is using Maya as insur- ance if their case ends up like their previ- ous one. Meanwhile, Loni Kampoor clashes with Maya, frankly revealing her dis- agreement with Maya handling the mur- der case as well as blatantly questioning Maya’s abilities. On the other hand, CJ Emerson finally confronts Maya for her eight-year sudden absence. A lot happened since their last case, and this makes Maya’s not so smooth welcome into the office. Indeed, Maya’s return not only causes the public eye to turn to them; it also caused her former colleagues to turn their back on her seemingly. Wolf’s plan to make the public fall in love with Sevvy once again significantly shapes the fate of the murder case. He and Ares Ahn, stage a brunch between Sevvy and his family at Jessica’s favorite restaurant. Star Johnson took considerable convincing before she agreed to go to brunch 7
The Fix Episode Guide with them. Once the Johnsons reach the restaurant, Wolf and Ares monitor the events taking place. Star, unable to hide from her remorse, decides to leave, speeding past the media. Sevvy then diverts the press to him to let Star go peacefully. With the media surrounding him, Sevvy is obliged to leave a statement. To Wolf and Ares’ surprise, Sevvy saves face by telling the media that he and his family are there to grieve the loss of Jessica and that the police have his full cooperation if they deem it necessary to solving Jessica’s murder. Wolf’s tactics did not stop at the Johnson Family image alone. Ben Mitchell, Jessica’s Fitness Training client, experiences what he fears the most as Wolf releases a video of him throwing Jessica’s necklace in a dumpster. While the police had previously declared him irrelevant to the case, the new video changes everything. Maya and their team find something suspicious in Sevvy’s mansion during their search: a burner phone, a considerable amount of money, and keys to a car. While the evidence they found is inconclusive to the case, it lands them closer to formulating their lawsuit. Because of this, Maya and CJ decide to head out to the crime scene, hoping to find a different lead. Luckily, Maya’s skills led her to a bonfire possibly put out hours after Ben finds Jessica’s body. Wolf’s media stint prompted Maya and CJ to visit Ben, knowing that the media is after him. In his residence, Ben insists on his innocence and tells the truth about the necklace. Jessica dropped the jewelry during a party they attended, and he meant to give it to her the morning he discovered her body. With that said, Maya reassures Ben that things will go back to normal so long as he tells them the truth and that he has the patience to wait for public scrutiny to fade. Using her connections, CJ manages to set up a meeting between a potential witness to the crime. Also, CJ’s traces the car keys they found in Sevvy’s mansion registered to a car owned by Ben. First, Maya and CJ have a word with Ben and his lawyer, stressing the fact that he lied to them. Ben was helping Jessica escape from Sevvy, but she still chose to stay. Frustrated, Ben and his lawyer leave the interview room. Maya does not wish to convict Ben, but if the evidence continues to point to him, they have no choice. Their interview with the witness, Edward Zo, clears Ben’s name. Edward reveals that he saw Ben panicking when he found Jessica’s body. However, it was too late for Ben. He broadcasted live, insisting on his innocence before taking his own life. Now that the other suspect to the case is dead, Maya decides to use Wolf’s tactics against him. Using the footage found in Jessica’s locker, Maya shifts public focus to Wolf instead, declar- ing him Ben Mitchell’s killer. Taken aback, the media ask questions almost simultaneously, all equally surprised with the beat they have. Sevvy, on the other hand, has Buck Neal, a longtime friend and Wolf’s fixer, drive him to an undisclosed location. Masking his identity, Sevvy walks down an alley heading straight to a residential area. Dia Briseño, opens her door to find Sevvy there. She welcomes him happily, but Sevvy grabs her by the arms, demanding to know if she killed Jessica. 8

Ezra learns there is a way in and out of Sevvy’s place that no one knows about; realizing they are screwed because the only thing they had going for them is the security cameras didn’t catch him leaving the house the morning of Jessica’s murder. Sevvy wants him to figure it out. Loni says Maya’s press conference took a lot of balls and is offering a white flag. She encour- ages Maya to use her team as CJ comes in with information about his Sevvy’s newest side piece. The kitchen manager gave her a receipt, asking if she is ready to meet Sevvy’s other woman and they head off to Dia’s house. Maya immediately gets into her face, saying Sevvy did this on purpose to use her as an excuse and she really isn’t anyone special. Maya tells her she is under arrest for a DUI from earlier, taking the name ”bitch” as a compliment from Sevvy and Dia. Sevvy is furious as he loses his career, fans and family; begging Jules Johnson to talk some sense into Gabe, even though she feels he won’t listen to her because she isn’t his mother. He denies that he is hiding anything from her, but if she wants to keep everything they built together, she will help him.

Charlie escorts Dr. Lisa Abboud to his office, wanting to talk to his ex about Sevvy. He suggests that she help them and maybe she used the private entrance the morning of Jessica’s murder. She feels he is desperate but he reminds her that he always wins; she smugly tells him that he will have to win this one without her.

She taunts him about running behind his nice, safe desk; so he either trusts her or he doesn’t. He signs the papers, saying he always trusted her and she needs to keep her safe. Ezra finds Lisa, after she discovers the CD of Connor Zane, reminding her he was the rising rockstar she used to treat but died from an overdose; only being saved by Ezra and now she owes him, threatening to make the case reappear if he has too. She knows he is ruthless, wondering if he would actually destroy her in order to get what he wants; he immediately says yes. Dia is prepped for her meeting with Sevvy, saying they need him to talk about anything about Jessica and his ego is what will get him talking.

Matthew wakes up, quietly crawling out of bed to call Maya; she reminds him this is below his pay grade now. He says he wants her to know he supports her as she knows he misses all of it; he wishes her good luck as Effy confronts him, saying she knows he is tempted to fall back into bad habits.

Dia sets up the room for Sevvy’s arrival, nervously waiting on the bed. Gabriel sits at the bar, asking for them to change the channel as he doesn’t want to see Ezra’s interview on his father anymore. He is told the TV is for everyone and if he doesn’t like it, he can drink in his own living room.

A fight breaks out and Jules rescues Gabe. Sevvy has a drink while waiting for Ezra. He shows him paperwork from his doctor, saying that he was knocked out from the medications she gave him that morning. He says Lisa’s reputation is sterling and he can make this stick.

She’s spent 6 years in the Innocent Project and she reminds him that he has no choice as it looks right now that Sevvy is a flight risk. Ezra welcomes her to the team. Angela answers the questions of the press, but Maya can’t believe the press is buying into it. She now worries if a Judge will buy what he is saying because if the Judge does, they are completely screwed. They are encouraged to get some sleep and deal with the arraignment in the morning. Ezra walks Jules outside the building when Buck Neal arrives. Buck reveals that Jules wasn’t having any income until Jessica died and suddenly she is back on the payroll. Ezra believes that is a motive, telling Buck to dig deeper with the neighbors. Ezra reminds Buck if Sevvy knew what was good for him, none of them would be there.

Wiest cautions them because his Angela Ashley story is gaining traction. CJ is going to check if Sevvy made another flight plan. Maya says they have Gabriel ”Gabe” Johnson who is released and in a safe house; Matthew feels having the defendant’s son sitting on their side makes a big statement. Maya asks Matthew to walk her out, telling him the bail hearing is everything because if Sevvy walks tomorrow it sends a message to a potential jury that their case is weak. She wants him sitting at the counsel table with her; which he quickly agrees to. Ezra welcomes Angela to his office but she wants to get right to work, saying the devil is in the details. He gives her a desk in the lobby as that is her stature. He makes it very clear that he is Sevvy Johnson’s lawyer and she can have her 15 minutes of fame but he runs the show as 22

He insists he didn’t kill Jessica; she produces Power of Attorney paperwork, telling him if he signs those she will talk to Vic. She says she needs to protect the family because no one knows what is going to happen to him and he needs to do this for her, then she will help him. Buck returns to Ezra’s office, saying he had a productive day, showing him a video of Jules; Ezra points his finger at the screen calling her a very, very bad girl. Ezra comes to see Angela, calling her ”Georgia”. She questions his good mood and he informs her that he has the silver bullet that he needs to win the hearing, confident that it might not even make it to trial. He won’t reveal the information, asking her how her babysitting skills are? Sevvy continues to protest his innocence when he meets with Vic; saying it would mean a lot to the judge if he posted bail; promising not to run. He talks about his kids but Vic tells him not to use the kids to manipulate him. Vic says he will think about it as Sevvy thanks him. Angela explains that Wolf is shutting her out as he plays ”Master of the Universe.” Sevvy tells her that Ezra saved his life and knows what he is doing. Maya and Matthew talk about their strategy in the hearing when Wiest walks in, asking to speak to Matthew in private. Maya receives a call, letting her know that Riv called the LAPD, reporting she has a stalker. She figures out that CJ told him but she doesn’t have time to deal with it right now. Wiest confronts Matthew about the janitor being fired and wants to know why there was no polygraph test, even though he confessed. He questions why there wasn’t an officer present when Matthew questioned him, but he felt the man would be more honest with him alone. Wiest calls him on his lies as the man had been transferred and gives him 5 seconds, to tell the truth. Matthew stands up, is persistent that it was the janitor who made one mistake but if Wiest wants to overrule his decision and ruin the man’s life; go ahead! Maya is sitting at home when Riv comes in, she is upset that he filed a police report without telling her. He knows how dangerous the situation is, to the point that CJ put up cameras outside the house. Maya feels it is just some poor sap; Riv informs her that LAPD disagrees, saying he is obsessive. She doesn’t want Riv to protect her, saying she isn’t a woman who needs saving as she can do it herself. Maya reiterates how important tomorrow is to her so Riv says she is as obsessive as her stalker. He gathers all the gifts this sicko has left her and wants to bring them to the police station. He opens the desk but everything is gone; Maya terrified, tells him the stalker was there in the house! The following morning, Maya doesn’t want to hear any news about Sevvy Johnson’s case; admitting to Riv that he was right to bring the cops in. She just wants him to put it away until after the hearing. Her ride arrives, she squeezes Riv’s hand when he offers her good luck. She gets into Matthew’s car, both ready to do this. They walk into the courtroom, reassuring Lindsey that Sevvy won’t get out; Gabe is sitting directly behind her. Sevvy walks in and meets Angela and Ezra, nodding to Vic and Jules, but angry when he spots his son, Gabe there. The Judge arrives, wanting to hear from the people first. Maya says they have it all, including motive when a video of Jessica telling them Sevvy beats her and she was planning on going to the police. His opportunity was when he had a secret entranceway to his property. His consciousness of guilt was him trying to destroy evidence as soon as he knew a search warrant was imminent. They have evidence from the crime scene and DNA evidence that proves he was there in the morning of the murder. Matthew takes over, claiming he is a flight risk which is what half the nation already knows. The defense stands up as Ezra doesn’t feel like fighting them on every point, but he can provide an affidavit from the pilot of Sevvy’s plane who was making the flight plane to come back to LA. He has trust and support of the community as Vic Marshall, 5 times NBA champion agreed to post his bail. Judge Song reminds him that he was going to keep it short. He says he did his homework and has evidence the prosecution would have found if they didn’t have such tunnel vision; evidence that proves in fact that Julianne Johnson is the murderer. Sevvy is shocked as Ezra shows them a video of Jules driving down the highway away from the crime scene; Jules and Vic leave the courtroom. Maya stands up saying there is DNA evidence that Sevvy was at the crime scene, not Julianne’s.
